German media are reporting that Vettel and Ferrari couldn’t reach an agreement and that he’s leaving. It’ll be announced in the coming hours.
From Motorsport-Total, Motorsport France, Bild, Tobias Gruner, AMUS etc...
Ferrari will confirm later in the day.Well he has this year left can Ferrari send him out a champion.?
ALLEGEDLY!
"Formula 1 is not a sport anymore” - Fernando Alonso
He had two real good opportunities 2017 & 2018, specially 2018. And his value dropped significantly after Leclerc beating, people thought 2014 was aberration but it shows how good RedBull were from 2009 to 2013
Personally I would like to see Ricciardo taking the seat, I'm not too convinced with Sainz that shows up on Sundays
Ricciardo would be best if we want the best driver available. Sainz would make sense if we want someone more focused on being the #2 for Leclerc.
Although Sainz may have potential as well, I am sure Ricciardo is better right now!
Or we could CHOCK everyone with FERNANDO THE BIG BANG ALONSO That would surely send shockwaves all over the world!
I prefer Ricciardo because I reckon he will be the best driver for the job! Alonso, I think his age and being out for 2-3 years kills that, unless Fernando is superhuman! Also Daniel could be good enough to challenge Merc and Red Bull if Leclerc does not fullfill his potential! So it would be safer from that perspective as well!
Thanks Seb, it was time to leave, you gave it your all but it was not good enough, now head to Mclaren who will be on the rise with Mercedes engines!

Daniel Ricardo is an even money bet with the right car and good reliability he can deliver no doubt.Turns up to win week in week out.
Sainz has proved more cool headed compared to Ric so i prefer him.

I suppose this was inevitable and the current lack of a season maybe added increased pressure, but I will await official confirmation. It's sad in a way, I never thought I could support Seb after his RB days, but being a tifoso has never been an easy ride.
See should have had 2017 and 2018 titles a real shame led the championship on both occasions Ferrari had the fastest car, then it went pair shape half way through.Driver errors and poor team tactics cost seb dearly.
Kimi is coming back
The prancing horse has confirmed the story.Seb is leaving both parties will part amicably .
What poor team tactics? If you're talking about poor team tactics regarding Raikkonen and his often forgotten and ignored race strategies, then sure. But Vettel enjoyed 100% support from Ferrari, and it was 100% Vettel's own fault that he didn't win the 2018 WDC. Don't blame Ferrari for a incompetent driver who made 9-10 mistakes in that year.
This formula1 season if any is going to be full of surprises I will call it know expect the unexpected 100%.
Hallelujah.
Vettel is an interesting character with a quirky sense of humour, but I never liked him at Ferrari. He squandered far too many opportunities and never fully rallied the team as a true #1 should do. And when he crumbled under pressure, boy, did he crumble!
It's for the best for Ferrari - and for Vettel too.
Now I just hope that the Scuderia makes a wise choice with who they bring in. I'm hoping it's Danny Ricciardo.
Ricciardo or Hamilton ??
Any odds on Alonso coming back?
Trying to think what is Vettel's reason of leaving a team which may not offer Number 1 status and salary but still can win races and possibility of title to Mclaren or Renault where he albeit will get his number 1 status but could end up frustrated like Alonso in Mclaren? How vulnerable is Bottas for 2021? Would Mercedes have him along with Hamilton or is it really Hamilton is talking to Ferrari?
Alonso please....
Forza Ferrari
Winning car, please?
This is what we need. A winning car.

I really would like Ricciardo in Ferrari, he is cool headed, great overtaker. I am sure he will do well in a Ferrari.
Red is the only color!!!
